It's been a month

First beer I've had in a month. The carbonation laced with the sweet aroma of the seasonal grain intertwined with the malty texture that is left lingering long after the beer is finished. Amazing.

October

October new herds along something fresh and sound,
It beckons me forth with her sweet aroma so familiar,
I dare not hasten toward the temptation found,
For what lies behind may not be so dear.
A heart that yearns and is known will find ache,
but one that makes trust it's own,
will find only that it has turned to stone.

Acting My Age

I am 23 years old, young, active, and ready for life. So why does my life style mirror one of 35 year old? While my peers are out partying on Friday night, going to clubs, getting drunk, meeting woman, I on the other hand, stay home, watch tv, and read a book. When my peers ask me what I'll be doing on Friday night or which party I'll be going to, I am hesitant and even sometimes embarrassed to admit that I will be doing neither but rather staying home reading a book or going to a dinner party.

Who ever said that I have to take advantage of my youth by "living it up", when, while we're older we realized that those things are menial and the things that really matter in life are elsewhere? So what that I like a quiet night at home, so what if I prefer a dinner party over a night club? I like quiet nights, and I like dinner parties.

Proof that possibly 35 years old is my actual age:
1. I actually think and look forward to marriage and parenthood.
2. I enjoy dinner parties.
3. I LOVE books.
4. I avoid loud and crowded places.
5. There are more spices than just garlic.
6. Puns and satires are amusing.
